especially since we have no idea where we ll be going after the holidays or where we ll find a home and once we do know chances are we ll only be taking our clothing and books and one or two stuffed elephants starting from scratch all over again an unexpected adventure like going to denmark we didn t know we d be moving there until a couple months beforehand and we went with basically nothing more to the point we had no idea where we d live once we had arrived and yet we were more than fine god never fails to provide things will turn up and it s going to be some kind of grand adventure when what you see in front of you is so far outside of what you dreamed but you have the belief the boldness the courage to call it beautiful instead of calling it wrong that s celebration shauna

ve neglected you since coming home with the shift in season has come a shift in mood a desire to hibernate like a bear underneath a pile of familiar blankets from my childhood incidentally i ve developed an uncommon attraction to photos of warm blankets as well s o u r c e pre wintry wants aside things have been pleasantly busy seeing friends and family visiting old haunts getting comfortable with driving again after a two year hiatus replacing clothing and shoes that fell apart in europe selling out the etsy stock and creating new teaching isaac mountain runs and blanket making yes i am also making a blanket and planning out and waiting on news for the new year and where we ll go next i am excited about the idea of having a home again after weeks months of travel and hotels and b b s and friendly basements at the same time i am drawn to this quote as always own only what you can always carry with you know languages know countries know people let your memory be your travel bag aleksandr solzhenitsyn no matter where we end up i will always be a nomad at heart with many travel plans in the making waiting by the way if you owned only what you could carry what

time of year the trees are red and gold their leaves swirl in mid air a lazy final leap some pines have fallen or been cut down while young ones grow up in between you will think of how much older you are and of the things you have collected and brought with you new habits and ideas confidences and insecurities but you won t forget how those branches were once a ship at sea or that hillside an entire village laid out with small stones how you hid in the cylinder beneath the dirt road building dams in the creek water that trickled from one side to the other or where you found the bleating orphaned fawn and where you set it free again after you d kept it for awhile your child plays in the woods like you once did and you watch on amazed source posted by ladaisi at 9 25 pm 1 remarks email

mother s name just by the way you describe your bed room when you were eight see i wanna know the first time you felt the weight of hate and if that day still trembles beneath your bones do you prefer to play in puddles of rain or bounce in the bellies of snow and if you were to build a snowman would you rip two branches from a tree to build your snowman arms or would you leave the snowman armless

first name and if you often lie awake at night and imagine your mother s joy when she spoke it for the very first time i want you tell me all the ways you ve been unkind tell me all the ways you ve

pinterest 10 22 13 home i am finally back in the states after a harrowing yes harrowing journey involving three countries three planes an absurd number of long lines and security checks including a guard who demanded to know why i was stationed in denmark and was their food better than ours a disheartening delay in d c and twenty six hours without sleep followed by three transfers by car to finally arrive at my parent s house in the mountains two days later i do not recommend my cheap travel habits especially when transporting half your worldly possessions and an exhausted crying child across the atlantic with you this dawned on me as it always does when the pilot who was supposed to be taking us on the last leg of our journey said yeah i just talked to my buddy who is flying the plane you need it had to have maintenance before its last trip and now it s on its way to detroit and then a few hours later after hauling my carry on of bricks up a flight of stairs to board the tardy plane i was told that i couldn t take it with me because wheeled luggage isn t allowed but it s all breakables i protested sorry lady i stood there for a moment beside my forlorn five year old blocking the point of entry for all other passengers dumbfounded exhausted on the verge of laughing hysterically or kicking someone in the shins instead i tripped fell on top of all my breakables and started crying the embarrassed attendant awkwardly stammered i ll take it back down for you and hightailed it out of there and i somehow managed to find my seat without terrifying anyone else minus the man whose foot i had previously run over with my wheeled luggage whoever you are i am genuinely sorry i would have apologized had any of this registered before now it was a fantastic day a week later and i am still recovering our first week home has been a festival of welcome home meals a birthday party for my now six year old son and a post wedding cookout to make up for a previously missed celebration the opposite of my last week in denmark spent having farewell dinners and hyggelig eftermiddagskaffe kage with danish friends i am so happy to be home again with my family i dearly miss my friends across the atlantic the many goodbyes brought to mind what a beautiful nomadic uprooted two years it has been we have lived out of hotels hostels b b s and apartments that have been much too large and much too small we have been hosted by friend family and stranger been immersed in a multicultural sea of people food and temperature and found ourselves hopelessly lost in foreign countries we have explored even more we have learned things about ourselves we never knew like what a beautiful growing thing it is to adjust to a new culture and what a beautiful freeing thing it is to live without things you once took for granted you stand outside your own comfort zone and you let yourself take it all in this place this culture that person their language this moment and you miss it when
